The sensation of the hour is the arrest
of q young clerk in the postofliCe named
Robert Carley, Who has been st the head
of the mailing department. Carley is
charged with opening and pilfering
letters. He has confessed saving that
re only interfered with letters addressed
to the New Orleans lottery, but this is
not believed. Carley has for some time
been leading a fast life, drinking and
gambling, which caused Postmaster
Johnson to put watch upon him Some
evenings ago Colonel SearCy, collector of
internal revenue, called at the Office
long after Office hours to get letter
addressed to MS care. He obtained the
letter and in the presence Of the post
master returned number of others to his
box as he did not wish TO carry them
bone. The next morning when he csme
down to his Office and sent for his official
mail the letters he had returned to his
box the night before had mysteriouslv
disappeared, and no trece Of them could
be found. 1t was decidedly suspicious,
end careful search was made high and
low, and finally in box of garbage on
the sidewalk was found half
of q money order addressed to Colonel
Searcy. Az examination was then made
in the money order department, and a
money order payable to Colonel SearCy
was found, which correspondent with the
numbers on the scraps found on the side
walk in the garbage box. tits supposed
that the thief, fearing to use the money
order, tore it up and half
of it lodged among the
scraps of paper and trash in the
box. 1t is generally believed, from re-
cent developments, that young Carley is
guilty of taking Colonel Searcy's mail.
Carley gave bond this morning, with Jas
r. White and c.. W. Kicker IS sureties,
in the sun of 500 to appear before
United States Commissioner Gardner
Ruggles' court tomorrow to answer to
the charge.

States, passed through this city this
morning en- route from Utah to Wash.
ington. In referring to rumors that he
would succeed late Justice Woods O!
the supreme bench, the solicitor general
said 81 could not be the successor OF
Justice Woods. Tie justice who sue
ceeds him must be from the same dis
triCt, and that renders me ineligible. The
names mentioned in the papers as his
successor are HoadlY, of Ohio; Garland,
of Arkansas; Hammond, of Georgia,
and Secretary Lamar. Hoadly is
not eligible from the sane res-
son am not. Attorney
General Garland though is eligible,
but has absolutely withdrawn as a Candi-
date. Lamar is eligible and chances are
in favor of his receiving the appointment
if he wants if. If he is the man then the
necessity of appointing his successor as
Secretary of the Interior would of course
Cause delay and lengthen the judgeship
appointment"
"Is there any foundation for the rumors
that are still revived about other pros
peCtive designations in President CIeve-
lands cabinet?"
"Not the slightest; don't think there
is ANYTHING in the story of Secretary
Endicott resigning. Garland is sure to
serve out his term, that is, unless some
thing extraordinary should arise"

About a week ago Jim Mcdonald, the
bartender in Fox's saloon, noticed that
the old man was very weak, and gave
orders at the lunch stand to give McGraw
whatever he wanted and he would pay
the bill, which was done, and would
occasionally give him drink, as that was
all that did the old man good, he having
drank all his life But Saturday young
Mcdonald went TO Sherman and Sunday
the old man had neither anything to eat
or drink, which, it is thought, hurried
his fsst approaching death.

STURDY CHEF JUSTICE JOHN MARSHAL

STURDY CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN MARSHAL
seems to have q sturdy lot of descendants.
One of them, also John Marshall, owns
farm in Virginia, with well.equipped saw
mill on creek. He got down in the buzz
saw pit not long ago to FIX loose screw:
Suddenly he felt something moving behind
him. and he threw his arm up and felt the
saw cut right through above the elbow, al
most from skin to skin. Raising his head he
struck the saw, which cut groove right
through his hair, over his forehead and face
and down into his throat. When he was
taken out his face was one mass of bleeding
flesh. They laid him on the grass and
brought surgeon. While the latter was
running across the fields to the spot where
the men had left Marshall he heard his
voice saving, as we'll as the wounds would
permit .Shove this stuff away from
INV eve SO that I can see whether
it's hurt.n They did "shove the stuff"
away from his eye as carefully as possible,
snd be gave them one CHASTITY glance and
,hen mn1mured Its all right can see."
I took the surgeon an hour and nalf to
dress all his wounds. He endured the pain
with perfec. cumposure. Within month
ne was out again as we'll as ever. Some one
was telling one of the old darkies on the
place. while "Marster John" was still in bed
what narrow escape he had from death
"Huh ~ said the darby take heap more
than that to kill Marse Johr. Why, if you
wanted to kill Marse JOHN you'd have to cut
his head off-and then hide the head. u
